I love every single piece of it from the pale romantic colors to the metal vintage keys to the distressed wooden texture of the birdhouses down to the wonderful sketch with loads of hexagons and white space.

As you will see, i tried to incorporate all those elements into my layout.

I also want to link this layout into the July challenge at Berry71bleu. The theme is : Anything Goes. Dana from Berry71bleu DT wants to see what we feel like creating this month, and as soon as i saw the SATW Mood Board, i felt the inspiration sweep over me and knew exactly what i wanted to create.

Just as much as i am in love with this
picture of Yves and i (and with Yves himself of course), i love the way
this layout turned out. I tried and tried to take the perfect picture
of it (more than a dozen takes, i swear!) so that the colors would all
come out as close to reality as possible but i have to say that it's
still not 100%. But it's close enough :)

I used the Key to my Heart title (above) from 2Crafty and one of the intricate keys (below) from their Vintage Keys set. All pieces of chipboard were covered with white gesso, minty green Liquid Pearls which i also dabbed all over my background papers.

I also dabbed some gesso and liquid pearls on the metal key which had a dull gold finish, just like the "Love" metal plate and the brads which i added here and there.

Here you can see more details of the 13arts background paper that resembles old distressed wood in the same shades as the SATW moodboard. I couldn't have picked more perfect paper!

I put a heavy coat of molding paste on the 2Crafty 1" Hexagon shapes using a sponge dabber to give them texture, then followed with the same gesso / liquid pearls treatment. In the image below, you can also see the beatiful Corner Geneive pieces which i used in the 2 opposite corners of my picture frame.

Beautiful page. So much attention to detail. I love your choice of background paper and love your layering and treatment of all the hexagons. Thanks so much for playing along at Scrap Around The World.
